Question:

I served on active duty in the Army for two years ending in June 1963. This was a "volunteer for the draft" full term. (Which I did). I received some VA education benefits for two years in college ending in 1968. I think I used the GIBill home mortgage benefit one time in about 1972 - 1974. Right now I am 40% VA disabled (hearing loss). I'm getting kind of old, but would like to get a two year degree. Do I have any educational benefits left?

Jim's Reply:

Probably not. However, over the years the education benefits that we receive have morphed into something unrecognizable by a Vietnam era vet. Benefits are greatly different for each era and the only person I know who keeps up with all that is the financial counselor at the institution you're thinking of attending. 
 

I refer veterans to these financial counselors at colleges all the time. The finance folks have a real interest in getting the answers right...that's how they earn a living.
 

I think your ambition to earn a degree at this time of your life is commendable and I wish you the best! Good luck.
